Supported operating systems
Supported platform Copied
ITRS Opsview supports the following Linux distributions for your Opsview Monitor environment. You must verify that your intended platform is supported in the list below prior to installation.
Note
For Opsview to run correctly, all Opsview components on all servers must be installed from the same release repository. Mixing Opsview component versions from different releases, such as using
opsview-datastorefrom 6.8.x andopsview-messagequeuefrom 6.7.x, is not supported.Opsview Collectors must also be installed from the same release repository as the core servers, whether they are deploy-based or are Remotely Managed Collectors. The only exception to this is the Opsview agent installed on monitored devices. The agent version does not need to match the exact Opsview version you’re using. However, it is always recommended to install the latest version of the agent whenever possible.
